How is "Development" different from "Training" (or, is it?). What is your experience with either of these issues?

You can often use them interchangeably. But here are the differences as I understand them.
Development is planned program that helps you gain skills, knowledge, or experience and moves you toward becoming more competent in your role or prepares you for a promotion. It could be a stretch job assignment, a special project, a training class, mentoring, coaching, etc.
Training is focused on one subject area where the learner will gain knowledge, skills, and/or practice. It can be in a classroom, online, reading to understand, or directly on the job. (There may be others too.) Usually training also involves some form of evaluation.

You get development through training. Both vital parts of creating world class organisations and too often neglected by ignorant management teams who are just too hungry for the short term buck $$$$$

If you are talking about staff development/ training at work, they are both pretty much the same, but 'development' sounds more upmarket and lets them off having to actually train you to do something you could not do before.

Training usually pertains to the improvement of people skills
Development generally pertains to improvements of the physical world.
You therefore could say that training leads to development.

If you don't pay attention during training, there's no development.
