Anyone hiring? I'm a recent Master's graduate seeking a strategist role.

I was working for ad agency here in Minneapolis and they reached out to me on LinkedIn without a job description saying that they wanted a seasoned digital project manager which I am. I accepted the offer and started working for this agency and now 6 months in they are asking me also do Wireframes and Content planning together with a project manager role as their team is super small and they do not have dedicated ux/ui and seo members in place.I said that is not my part of the job and parted.

I just completed my first coaching course and I really enjoyed it. I'd like to ask my company to pay for the rest of the curriculum, so I'm curious how I can 1. bring it up to my supervisor 2. frame the benefits I'm receiving as beneficial to my current role and 3. bypass the guilt of knowing that I am using these skills to ultimately leave my role to become an entrepreneur, though not in the next 1-2 years. This is the first request like this I've ever made, though I know this pretty common.
