Narrative:
Aircraft Y was a northbound departure off ZZZ1. We routinely flash these aircraft to departure radar 2; but work them out to ZZZ center if neither departure radar is busy. I thought my trainee gave aircraft Y 17;000 ft and runway heading; which is the norm and these aircraft climb above the ZZZ2 traffic and go north. Either he gave him 7;000 ft or the pilot read back 7;000 ft and I missed it. We turned him north to go on course and he leveled right next to aircraft X off of ZZZ2. I believe we were discussing an earlier false start off ZZZ2; but I'm not sure. Recommendation; be more clear on altitude assignments and verify read backs. Don't turn north until positive we are above ZZZ2 traffic.
