Narrative:

I was providing OJT (job training) on ground; trainee read an IFR clearance to aircraft X with an altitude to maintain 10;000 ft expect higher 10 minutes after departure. Pilot read back maintain 1;000 ft. Neither trainee or I caught the read back mistake. Pilot was then cleared for take off into a 2;200 ft MVA. Aircraft leveled at 1;000 ft for 2-3 miles until departure issued a climb to 10;000 ft. I reviewed the tape after the session to and determined that a hear back mistake had occurred. I was looking up an answer to a question that trainee had had earlier and not paying 100% attention to the read back. Closer attention to the task at hand was needed.
