Narrative:
I was providing training on dallas south when flight data physically came over to request an IFR release off for aircraft X. The trainee gave runway heading and 3000 feet for the release. What he failed to see; nor did flight data mention it; was that aircraft X was departing [on a runway in a north direction]. All other airports in the area were in a south flow. The departure strip did show aircraft X departing runway 36. Those departure instructions enter into a 3500 minimum vectoring altitude. As soon as I saw aircraft X acquire on the radar display north of [the departure airport]; I informed the trainee that those departure instructions do not work and to turn aircraft X eastbound away from the obstacles.I should have looked at the strip myself. But a verbal reminder from flight data that this departure was opposite all other flows would have gone a long way in preventing this situation.
