Aircraft X was a departure filed at a final altitude at 6000 feet. The filed altitude was too low for this destination and was amended by the departure controller to 11;000 feet. The aircraft departed and was told leaving 4200 feet proceed on course. The aircraft leveled at 6000 feet and had entered a higher MVA (Minimum Vectoring Altitude) when I realized he had leveled at which point I had the aircraft execute an expedited climb to the appropriate altitude and sent him off to the next sector without any incident.In addition to being more vigilant myself during times of low traffic volume I would recommend that the tower issue more appropriate altitudes for direction of flight on the ground.
EUG TRACON Controller reported an aircraft that should have been climbing to 11000 feet leveled off at 6000 feet which was below the MVA.
