If you remember the Giver also had some sort of skill, his was hearing beyond... that is why he was able to understand the importance in his job assignment. He had that skill and was going to use it to be able to take in all the memories from his giver. The same with Jonas,he needed that special skill, in order for him to understand why the community was the way it was, and what happened to the memories of the whole world. I personally think that, because he was the only one that was going to carry ALL the memories the community did not want to deal with. Im pretty sure Rosemary (the failed-reciver-intraining) had some sort of skill just like Jonas. Hope it helps!
