The Council of Trent was called by the Pope so that all of the Bishops of the world could address the problems that were in the Church in the sixteenth century. The Jesuit Order was created because St. Ignatius of Loyola received a call from God to follow Him in this way.
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.

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.
