Answer
Hi,

TA is basically recruitment process it starts from the day you're told to lookl out for persons to fill a particular opening in the Organization and it ends after the finally candidates joins on the job. It includes sourcing of the candidates, screening of resume, conducting tests and interviews etc.

Whereas T & D includes providing training to staff, development of the staff which really lacks a certain skill. For example a particular group of people are very bad at attending customers, with traning they may be tought how to attend customers and how to deal with them etc.

Best regards,
Umesh
