The Council of Trent was an Ecumenical Council of the Church, the Jesuits are an Religious Order of the Church. The Council of Trent was in the sixteenth century, and the Society of Jesus was founded in that century as well. Both of them were *partially* in response and how to deal with the protestant revolt started by Martin Luther.
.Catholic AnswerThe Society of Jesus didn't really have a role at the Council of Trent, they were just getting organized as a religious order and they were concentrating on preaching and missionary work - and recruiting and training new Jesuits. The Council of Trent was composed of Bishops of the Church, at the beginning of the Council I don't think that any Jesuits had been ordained Bishops. The Jesuits primary role was after the Council as they went about putting the decrees of the Council into effect.
The Council of Trent spelled out Church teaching in very clear terms, and tightened up Church discipline and clergy education to prevent another disaster like the protestant revolt started by Martin Luther. The Jesuits attempted to preach and reconvert the heretics back to the Church.

The Council of Trent was a meeting of Catholic leaders that aimed to address Protestant teachings and reform within the Church through stricter discipline, reaffirmation of Catholic doctrine, and emphasizing the role of tradition alongside scripture. The Jesuits, founded by Ignatius of Loyola, played a significant role in the Counter Reformation by promoting education, missionary work, and defending Catholic doctrine through their commitment to obedience to the Pope and the teachings of the Church.
