Narrative:
I received a handoff on this aircraft on an assigned heading to the northeast destined for ZZZ airport. The aircraft was above a 5000 foot MVA. I vectored the aircraft to the east to set them up for an instrument approach. The vector clipped the northern edge of a 5600 foot MVA. My instructor caught the MVA violation but the aircraft had already entered it. I issued a climb to 6000 feet to get the aircraft above the MVA. The aircraft continued onto ZZZ without issues. I should keep the MVA map displayed until I am very well versed on the MVA's in and adjacent to my airspace.
