I took the position and in the briefing the controller mentioned that the departure may conflict with a VFR aircraft at 5500 feet. I do not recall him stating that he had stopped the departure at 5000 feet. I also do not recall what the pilot said reference his altitude on check in. When I noticed him level at 5000 feet I asked him if he was climbing and he stated he was given 5000 feet. I climbed him immediately but he entered a 6000 minimum vectoring altitude before reaching that altitude. The emergency obstruction altitude in the area is 3200 feet.I need to listen better to the assigned altitude on aircraft checking in.
A Controller assigned a departing aircraft 5000 feet which was below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
