Narrative:
Training was in progress on the south position. Very complex traffic with a low time trainee. Aircraft X was an IFR overflight traveling west to southeast. The developmental was holding on; just barely; and has a habit of filing overflight strips. I didn't check the route. Aircraft X continued on his route and we continued to work the busy sector. Prior to aircraft X reaching the tcp (transfer of control point) center called and asked if we were going to climb aircraft X. That's when I noticed his route and that he was entering an 11;300 foot minimum vectoring altitude area at 11;000 feet. I then climbed him to 13;000 feet and the supervisor coordinated with center. Be sure to check overflight routing; especially when conducting training.
