Friday prayer is the most important prayer of the week. A person should go out of his way to convince the school or the workplace of its importance and that he must go to attend it.
However, if this was not possible in non Muslim countries and his livelihood and carrier depended on it, jurors permitted skipping it and praying it thuhur due to being forced to do so and Allah will not hold him accountable as long as he did and still doing his best.
It is needless to say that if there are other Muslims with him, as little as two, the three of them should pray Friday prayers with one of them being the Imam.
