At the ceremony of tweles they give the 12s their assignments which would be ther jobs for the rest of their lives into they reach into their old age stage
In "The Giver," each of the twelves received their assigned job at the Ceremony. This ceremony marks their transition from childhood to adulthood and they are given their roles based on their abilities and interests.
Assignment
Jonas was upset during the Ceremony of Twelves because he was skipped over when the Chief Elder announced the Assignments for the year. This caused him anxiety and uncertainty about his future role in the community.
The Ceremony of the Ones is when children turn One and receive their name. The Ceremony of the Sevens is when children are given a new jacket with pockets to symbolize responsibility. The Ceremony of the Eights is when children receive their vocation. The Ceremonies of the Nines, Tens, Elevens, and Twelves involve further training and preparation for adulthood. The Matching of the Spouses is a ceremony where couples are chosen by the community for compatibility and partnership.
Citizen In Training.
Once they have received their assignments, they no longer have volunteer work. They begin their training.
The ceremony of twelve starts after the ceremony of eleven and is the last ceremony that is done, most adults forget their age after that. It starts with the numbers that all the children were given at birth Jonas's number is 19 so he would be the nineteenth person to receive his assignment, but there is a strange twist here so you will just have to read it. :)
i think what set the ceremony of twelve is the last ceremony and they are given an assignment.

In "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, Jonas is skipped during the Ceremony of Twelves, which occurs on page 59 in most editions. This moment is significant as it highlights his uniqueness and sets the stage for his eventual selection as the Receiver of Memory. The skip creates a sense of anxiety for Jonas, as he grapples with feelings of uncertainty about his future in the community.
In The Giver by Louis Lowry, assigments are given in the ceremony when they become a Twelve. and they are appropriate for each and every person that is given to him
