Narrative:
Aircraft X called for a hfr (hold for release) clearance approximately 35 minutes prior. Pilot was given departure clearance: 'cleared to ZZZ airport as filed; climb and maintain 10;000 expect FL340 10 minutes after departure; departure freq.; squawk; hfr.' read back by pilot accurately.aircraft called on end of the runway for release. Release was granted; 5 min with 10 min to contact ZZZ center if not off. No changes were made to original departure clearance.aircraft was in radar approximately 3 min after release was granted. Pilot checked on climbing to 10;000 [feet]. I radar identified the aircraft and a climb to fl[230] was issued. Approximately 3 minutes later; I realized the aircraft was not turning on course. At this time; I questioned the pilot as to what fix he was navigating to. He stated that the last instruction he was given was to fly runway heading. This instruction was never issued. I informed him as such; and once he climbed above my mia in the area; I cleared him on course. This tells me that the aircraft did not fly the applicable odp [obstacle departure procedure].pilots seem to be unfamiliar with uncontrolled airport procedures (odps; ATC clearance limitations; etc). All pilots should be properly briefed on these procedures as not properly flying the odp out of airports is a safety risk.

I informed him as such; and once he climbed above my MIA in the area; I cleared him on course. This tells me that the aircraft did not fly the applicable ODP [Obstacle Departure Procedure].Pilots seem to be unfamiliar with uncontrolled airport procedures (ODPs; ATC clearance limitations; ETC). All pilots should be properly briefed on these procedures as not properly flying the ODP out of airports is a safety risk.
